How to Make Traditional Barbecue Sauce
- Heat 1 tablespoon of oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Add 1 medium onion, chopped, and 2 cloves garlic, minced, and cook gently for 10 minutes, or until softened.
- Stir in 1 cup of ketchup, 1/2 cup apple cider vinegar, 2 tablespoons Worcestershire sauce, 1/2 cup packed brown sugar, 1 tablespoon chili powder, and 1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (or more, to taste).
- Bring the mixture to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened slightly.
- Remove from heat and let cool completely. Transfer to an airtight container and refrigerate until ready to use. Brush generously onto your favorite meats during the last 5-10 minutes of cooking time for a delicious glaze. Serve any remaining sauce on the side.
